De Longhi

I rely upon portable DeLonghi radiators during winter for auxiliary heat. I keep one going in kitchen another in the bathroom. The rest of the house is set at moderate to low ambient heat, at the same time, I can depend upon those two rooms being toasty warm. These portable radiators use a system of warmed oil that spread through the fins of the unit... just like old timey steam or hot water radiators in traditional type homes. There are multiple settings from low to high and from minimum to maximum. This type of radiant heat, I feel, is safer and more economical than convection electric-coiled blown hot air. I have had these rads for years and am more than pleased. I know that the company makes an array of kitchen appliances, as well. Based upon many years of efficient, clean and extra heat, I am rating this company with five glowing stars!

After buying a 658 R expresso, it mal-functioned from day 1. The coffee holder sticks in machine, only the handle ejects. Consequently your hands are covered in used coffee getting it out. Also the cream is negligible on coffee. Be aware the water holder is also small and it wont hold a large cup. I contacted Delonghi who took 4 days to reply then after a further 4 days asked for more information. The service is terrible, I asked for a full refund including postage? Since original review I attempted to clean it with supplied article. Now apart from the coffee holder getting stuck the red light flashes continously on the frother! This should not be on sale.
